International Relations Office
Health & Safety
International students must be mindful of where to go and where not to go, especially, at night, since they do not really know their way around. More about students’ safety is discussed during orientation. Always have anything in relation to your health with you. For example personal first aid, Personal/Health Insurance ID cards, etc. Be careful of the people you mingle with, especially now, in this era of Global Pandemic.
